Flexibility CHICAGO, March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maytag
Corporation's (NYSE:MYG) Hoover brand introduces new products that
provide consumers with the ability to vacuum and clean all types of
floors at the 2006 International Home and Housewares Show, March
12-14. From a new "all-terrain" carpet and hard floor cleaner to
the world's first sport utility vacuum, Maytag Corporation
showcases innovations for the home through its Hoover(R) brand on
display at Lakeside Center -- booth #12502. Hoover(R) SteamVac(TM)
All-Terrain Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner Tackles Multiple Floor
Surfaces The new Hoover SteamVac All-Terrain Carpet and Hard-Floor
cleaner is designed to clean the multitude of floor surfaces found
in today's homes. This next generation Hoover SteamVac is an
all-in-one cleaner with the ability to scrub thick carpets,
removing deep-down dirt, as well as gently cleaning delicate hard
floors without scratching floor surfaces. The Hoover SteamVac
All-Terrain cleaner addresses consumers' needs for one cleaner that
can effectively and efficiently clean multiple terrains such as
carpet and hard-floors. The cleaner's carpet cleaning ability is a
result of Hoover's revolutionary Dual V(TM) Nozzle Technology,
which provides equal suction across the full width of the nozzle,
removing dirty water for excellent cleaning and fast drying; its
unparalleled Auto Rinse(TM) feature rinses the carpet on the
reverse stroke leaving less detergent residue in your carpet or on
your hard floor; heat applied directly to the floor; and its
powerful 12 amp motor. The enhanced technology not only provides a
professional-quality cleaning, but also cleans carpet better than
any other leading brand.* The Hoover SteamVac All-Terrain cleaner
addresses the needs of carpet and hard-floor cleaning with its
All-Terrain SpinScrub(TM) Mode, a feature only offered by Hoover,
that provides the right amount of suction and scrubbing action
across various surfaces. The mode selector allows for spill pick
up, hard terrain and carpet terrain cleaning. In addition, its
Hard-Floor Package provides users with all the tools to clean
ground-in dirt for hard surfaces. The package includes a squeegee
that picks up dirty water, SpinScrub brushes that safely cleanse
floors and soft wheels that won't scratch delicate surfaces.
"Consumers have a greater variety of floor surfaces in their homes
than ever before," said Dave Baker, vice president, Hoover. "This
trend has created a rising demand for products that can seamlessly
transition over any home terrain while providing superior
performance and extraordinary cleaning power for carpet and hard
surfaces. The Hoover SteamVac All-Terrain Carpet and Hard-Floor
Cleaner addresses these needs." Hoover(R) Introduces World's First
Sport Utility Vacuum For An All-Terrain Cleaning Experience Hoover
has introduced the world's first sports utility vacuum designed to
conquer any surface for a high level of cleaning without stopping.
The Hoover(R) Z(TM) Bagless Upright Vacuum is a first-of-its-kind
cleaner that comes fully loaded for an entirely new performance in
the floor-care category. Consumers' cleaning needs have changed due
to the growing trend of multiple floor surfaces within the home.
Today's home requires a single vacuum that can adjust to different
carpet levels and transition from hard to delicate surfaces, both
on and above the floor. The features of the Hoover Z Bagless
Upright address major concerns voiced by vacuum users - the
starting and stopping motion of the cleaning process as users
switch between vacuums and modes, the need for efficient cleaning
across multiple surfaces and heights and the maintenance associated
with cleaning and replacing the main filter. The Hoover Z Bagless
Upright focuses on all aspects of vacuuming from set up and start
to use and storage, designed to provide a truly satisfying cleaning
experience. Features of the new vacuum include a DigiTouch(TM)
control pad allowing for a continuous, automatic adjustment between
surfaces and settings without the need to bend over the vacuum, and
a patent-pending self-cleaning HEPA filter that automatically
cleans itself every six seconds and never needs replacing to
maintain a high level of cleaning.** Its super-stretch hose extends
20 feet for convenient above-the-floor cleaning of curtains,
drapes, molding and tops of stairs. The patent-pending collapsible
Z-Fold(TM) design also offers the performance and convenience of an
upright with the flexibility and stability of a canister in one
vacuum. The new, flagship product of the Hoover line of
high-performance cleaning appliances is available in two models,
the Hoover Z 700 and Hoover Z 400. About Maytag Maytag Corporation
